Ive got no problem being romantic and like it it's just that the girl's either dont care or go "awww that's sweet" and quickly forget about it.

Ive found that to be the case too. Although, when I actually think about it, I think it's just me WANTING them to go on and on and on about it. She probably really does think it's sweet, but how long would I go on about something sweet she did? Sometimes I find myself going way out of my way to be really sweet hoping to get some sort of reciprocation, which often never comes , which gets me kinda pissed...but again, when I sit and reason with myself, I can usually understand.

shLong said: I love doing sweet shit for my g/f, it seem's like she forgets about it right after though 
Once I buried a jar with a joint, newspaper clipping (for date reference, photos of us, a sweet note and some other shit way out in the boonies. This was about 2 months in to our relationship. On our 3 or 4 year (dont remember which) anniversary I took her out there and dug it up. She had no idea why the fuck I was walking through a country cemetery with a shovel, lol...It was super fucking romantic, but again, was quickly forgotten about.
Anyhow, we chiefed the J on the way home and that was that. I also still leave her cheezy notes to come home to and hide dumb/cute msgs in her phone calendar...and this is after 6 years together. She doesnt really do a whole lot in return, kind of wish she did, but maybe chicks just dont do that 
That is the kinda shit that should not be easily forgotten.
Six years is a long time though. Sounds like she is a victim of the mundane. I donno though. People get used to being treated one way and then they expect it. Maybe she just expects it from you as if it is her right and that she doesn't need to react to it cause its her's anyway.

and the cure to that? be a douche?
I just kind of hope maybe she'll do something that'll make me go "wow! that was fucking great! I really am loved", but, not so much

I mean, not to sound like a prissy fucking queen, but I'd love to feel what that feels like, anything, random kind gestures. Ive even tried to tell her to do something nice or sweet 
I dont do shit to get shit in return, but fuck man! It'd sure be nice.
It's one of those "she'll miss that when I'm gone " type of things...I just stopped thinking about it though and continue to be myself

I don't know. You could just stop with the romance.
Or you could talk to her and say "we've been together for six years, and I don't feel like you are appreciating the things I am doing to keep our relationship lively. What's going on?" Because it sounds like you are doing these things as much for yourself as you are for her. Tell her that it hurts you when she is just like "eh," after a lovely gesture.
Maybe a joint in a cemetery is not enough. Maybe you need a GRAND gesture! Like Champaign, and engagement rings and vacations to sexy places. lol...

I'll pass on that...
I'll keep wishing in one hand, and well, you know the rest :-)
EDIT: I have told her, and she said she'll try, but nada....fuck it!

I'd love to feel what that feels like too. This whole thread really makes me sad. I don't get shit in the way of romance or gestures from my guy. Passion yes, romance nada. Sometimes even just a basic consideration of my feelings is nonexistent. You guys that are doing it, hell, I applaud you and I'm sorry your girlfriends are unresponsive. Not all girls like douchebags. If I received cute sticky notes placed here and there you better believe I would save every single one of them and from time to time pull them out, reread and feel the love.

The reason I have given up (for the time being at least) on finding a partner is because of how hopeless a romantic I was. I probably shouldn't give up. I should probably just blame it on stupid girls being stupid, but fuck it.
All of my relationships I did the cute notes, romantic dinner, movie, back rubs. I 110% romanticized the FUCK out of every girlfriend I've ever had.
It just goes unnoticed though. They don't put back nearly what I put in, and we generally just end up fighting anyways.
I always thought doing everything for a girl you like/love is how you would hold onto her. In my experience, that's a bunch of bullshit. Maybe I just never found the hopeless romantic girl though.
Now I'm fucked. I'm too busy partying my face off to care about women. Fuck it, take another shot, smoke another J, drop another tab, rail another line.

well folks! i think that playing games with people one way or the other is for kids... it is better to live life by giving "everything" 110%. if that means doing things without thinking about yourself in some way then you just do them and you will forget about it right away.

I think it's easier for girl to fall in love than a guys. Girls are dumb and are addicted to that feeling that 'love' gives us. But when a guy falls in love, It's really love. I was quite the romantic myself. Craving names into trees and shit... Girls love that stuff. But ever since I got my heart ripped out I'm not in any hurry to find love again.
